Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

"Okay, go take care of their business first."

Originally, Li Youcai wanted to take Wang Qiang out to find some bricklayers to prepare for the renovation of the factory, but now he can only take Li Youjie with him.

"Then I'll take them over there first, Brother Cai." Wang Qiang happily took the people from the forest farm to the office opposite.

He had to buy bunk beds and arrange accommodation for the boys. These things would keep Wang Qiang busy for a while.

Wang Rong stood aside, occasionally glancing at Li Youcai, but never speaking. At this moment, she followed Wang Qiang to the office.

Li Youcai went outside with his younger brother Li Youjie.

It took all morning.

A group of masons were recovered along with several electricians and plumbers.

Li Youcai replanned the factory according to his own ideas and drew the locations of each stall on the ground with white lime.

The electrician is responsible for designing a new power supply system for the entire factory.

Two days later.

As truckload after truckload of construction materials were pulled into the factory, the project of transforming the old factory into a farmers' market began in full swing.

No laborers were hired, so the brothers from the forest farm temporarily acted as laborers, helping the bricklayers by sifting sand and cement, moving red bricks, and doing whatever work was available.

No one complained, because they themselves knew that only when the farmers' market was renovated would they have new jobs.

The girls cooked during the day and went to the Beiwei Restaurant across the street to receive training from Wang Wanru at night.

For this purpose, Li Youcai also paid an additional 50 yuan in training fees to Widow Wang.

Three days later again.

Inside Tengxian Catering Company.

Gao Dapeng brought the materials prepared in advance and led Li Youcai happily to the general manager's office.

All the way there, Gao Dapeng grinned until his teeth were almost showing: "Brother, once the contract is signed, those six state-owned restaurants will be ours!"

Li Youcai smiled and said, "After such a long wait, today has finally arrived. Now that we have acquired these six restaurants, our catering company will be established."

"Once I become the general manager, I won't have to look at other people's faces anymore. It makes me feel happy just thinking about it." Gao Dapeng smiled.

The pace of my feet became a little faster.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the general manager's office, and Gao Dapeng reached out and knocked on the door.

Dangdang

The imagined voice of "Come in" did not appear, and the office was silent.

Gao Dapeng increased the force a little and knocked again.

Dangdang

But there was still no sound.

no one!

Gao Dapeng was a little surprised, and Li Youcai was even more confused.

They had made an appointment in advance and came today to discuss the contracting of six restaurants with the general manager of the catering company.

The appointment time is also right.

Why is there no one here?

Gao Dapeng did not give up and increased the strength of his hands.

Dangdang

But there was still no movement in the house.

Next to it, a door opened and a woman walked out of the room.

"It's Manager Gao. The general manager is not here." The woman spoke when she saw it was Gao Dapeng knocking on the door.

"Secretary Zhang, where is the leader? We made an appointment with him to sign the contract today." Gao Dapeng asked.

Gao Dapeng knew this Secretary Zhang, who was the general manager's secretary.

I used to often bring my family to his northern-style restaurant for dinner. Every time, Gao Dapeng would serve us special dishes and give us discounts on the meals.

"The general manager went to the city for a meeting and couldn't sign any contracts," said Secretary Zhang.

Meeting?

Didn’t the head office’s mobilization meeting just end a few days ago?

Besides, if I really can’t sign the contract during the meeting, I can always just make a phone call to notify them.

"Why is he in a meeting?" Gao Dapeng felt a little strange, but didn't think too much about it.

"Okay, then we'll come back tomorrow." Gao Dapeng said.

Although Li Youcai also felt that something was wrong, since Gao Dapeng was in charge of the entire contracting matter, Li Youcai did not think much about it.

Secretary Zhang looked at Gao Dapeng and whispered, "Manager Gao, you should go find Director Bai. He knows what's going on."

Gao Dapeng and Li Youcai were both stunned by what the secretary said!

What do you mean?

Secretary Zhang just smiled, didn't say anything more, and turned back to the office.

Li Youcai looked at Gao Dapeng: "Brother Gao, has something changed?"

"Let's go find Lao Bai." Gao Dapeng frowned and walked out first.

Li Youcai followed closely behind, and the two of them hurried towards another office in the distance.

Arriving at Director Bai's office, Gao Dapeng knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Gao Dapeng pushed open the door and stepped inside. "Lao Bai, what's going on? Why isn't anyone here at Mr. Sun's place? I made an appointment with him to sign the contract."

Director Bai is the office director of Teng County Catering Company and has a very close relationship with Gao Dapeng. This time Gao Dapeng is going to contract the six state-owned restaurants, and Director Bai is Gao Dapeng's main contact.

Seeing Gao Dapeng leading someone in, Director Bai stood up and said with a smile: "You're here, I knew you had to come to see me, please sit down first."

"Who is this?" Director Bai looked at Li Youcai.

"This is Li Youcai, my brother and partner." Gao Dapeng was anxious and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Director Bai stood up and poured a glass of water for Gao Dapeng and Li Youcai respectively, then said, "What else could it be? He's deliberately avoiding you."

"Why? We have brought the money. What's the matter? Mr. Sun, you wouldn't think the contract fee is too little, right?" Gao Dapeng asked in confusion.

"It's not about money. Someone has also set their sights on those restaurants and wants to get involved," said Director Bai.

"Who is it?" Gao Dapeng asked.

Li Youcai was sitting nearby and understood what was said.

The person who made Mr. Sun not sign the already negotiated contract and even play hide-and-seek with him must have some background.

"He's Deputy County Chief Zhou's nephew, Zhong Yuanbing," Director Bai said.

It turns out that it’s the relationship with the deputy county magistrate. No wonder Mr. Sun has been hiding from people.

Gao Dapeng was very angry.

"I've been cooking the duck for almost two months, and he wants to take it away from me like this? How can there be such a cheap thing in this world?" Gao Dapeng was full of anger.

In order to take over these six restaurants, Gao Dapeng has been running around for almost two months. He has given gifts, owed favors, and gone through all the trouble. Now the duck is cooked, but the person eating at the table is someone else.

How could he swallow this?

Li Youcai also felt that this man named Zhong Yuanbing was really unkind. Isn't this clearly robbery?

"Director Bai, the outsourcing of state-owned restaurants should be open to the public. How much is the contract fee he paid? If 800 is not enough, we can add more!" Li Youcai said.

snort···

Director Bai snorted, then said, "He pays 600 yuan a month."

"What?" Gao Dapeng became even more annoyed when he heard this.
